Die This Hour: A Detective Murder Mystery Thriller (The Inspector Sheehan Mysteries Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Brian O'Hare (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (99)

"An adrenoline-fueled roller-coaster thrill ride from the first page to the last page!" ★★★★★

Every Tuesday night at exactly 11:05, a ruthless serial killer strikes in Belfast.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Sheehan’s Serious Crimes Unit has been shaken by retirements and promotions, leaving him in need of a new sergeant. He appoints Denise Stewart — a sharp, determined officer who exposed deep corruption in her last posting, sending her superior and several colleagues to prison.

But Stewart’s past has made her enemies. Soon after joining Sheehan’s team, she becomes the target of a violent, unknown assailant.

As she works around the clock to profile the killer, the attacks escalate.

With Belfast gripped by fear and the clock ticking toward the next Tuesday night murder, Stewart must earn the trust of her new unit and prove she belongs — before the predator she’s hunting decides she’s his next victim.

Die This Hour was originally published by Crimson Cloak as The 11:05 Murders. It was chosen as the solo medallist winner in The New Apple Awards for Excellence.

★★★★★ "Well written and hard to put down."
★★★★★ "Head and shoulders above most mystery authors who are published today, Brian O’Hare deserves far wider recognition."

★★★★★ "I have long been a fan of such authors as Peter James, Ian Rankin and Australian/Irish author Dervla McTiernan. Bryan O’Hare is every bit the equal of these acclaimed authors and is a master of the genre."

★★★★★ "The first thing I thought after reading this book is: Why isn’t Brian O’Hare better known in the crime world? This man is extremely talented and his books are wonderful whodunits that will keep you guessing until the end." -- Joseph Sousa, Crime Writer

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced and highly entertaining

Reviewed in the United States Verified Purchase

The body of a man in his early 30s is found in the man's home, the body mutilated and his throat slit. Chief Inspector Jim Sheehan of the Belfast Police leads the investigating team, and finds a number of unusual things - a broken cufflink that doesn't belong to the dead man, a watch deliberately stopped at 11:05, and a laptop with information about a young woman who committed suicide 12 years earlier.

Sheehan's team includes a new detective sergeant, Denise Stevens. She's transferred to the detective unit from a police station where she experienced verbal and physical abuse from her fellow (male) police officers. She finds an entirely different atmosphere with Sheehan's team, and she brings a sharp mind and a new perspective. She also unknowingly brings a stalker.

Then there's a second murder, and the list of possible suspects grows to include bankrupt property owners and a former IRA revolutionary turned thug businessman. Stevens is convinced, however, that the solution to the deaths lies in the past, and specifically around the Queens University college student who committed suicide following a brutal rape.

Die This Hour is mystery writer Brian O'Hare's second Inspector Sheehan novel, and it's one that's extremely difficult to put down. It sizzles with action, suspense, and more than a few nail-biting developments as you watch Sheehan and his team move and sometimes stumble towards a solution.

Die This Hour is a fast-paced, highly entertaining, and well-written mystery. It's good to know that a new entry in the Inspector Sheehan series, another novel entitled Killer of Souls will be published soon.

About Brian O'Hare, MA, Ph.D

Brian O'Hare's early writing was academic but when he decided to write fiction, his success surprised him. His books have won several awards and his first mystery novel, Angel of Death, led to the award-winning Inspector Sheehan Mysteries series. There are eight books in the series with a ninth on the way.

Before retirement he was Assistant Director of the Southern Regional College in Northern Ireland. Married, with three children, ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, he now writes full-time. For many years he and his wife enjoyed travelling, especially in France. He also enjoys reading, chess and plays golf twice a week.

Reviewers say that O'Hare writes with a keen eye for detail with his tales evolving at a surprisingly fast pace, that he leans towards the human side of his characters,that he imbues them with a real-world presence that is in turn witty and passionate. If you are interested in discovering whether or not there is any truth to these judgements, the novels are available on Amazon, sometimes at a reduced rate.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Magnificent Sheehan mystery read!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024

    What a fantastic story in Die This Hour by Brian O'Hare. I am a definite fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. This is the second book in the Inspector Sheehan Mysteries, but I have read them out of order, loving each one. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. Sheehan and his team have another murder to look into, and find the connection, besides the time and day of the murders. I love O'Hare's work, and his storytelling ability. O'Hare's work are hidden gems that everyone who loves a good crime slash mystery slash investigative murder mysteries, and they aren't you're run of the mill mysteries. It's a whodunnit but with flair and the added layers of life, work, and finding killers. The typical day for Sheehan and his team. It’s definitely un-put-downable! It is always an honor to read this author's books. This story was very unpredictable. This book captures the reader's attention at chapter 1. The author's technique of raw, magnetic characters and great plotlines is a gift. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. A reader can get lost in the story. I hope to read more books by this author. Die This Hour is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book and give my honest and unbiased review. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book, to also write a review.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024

    I’m not exactly sure how I came to download Die This Hour by Brian O’Hare, but I’m glad that I did. I think it was the title and the cover that first caught my attention. Then it was the setting. I have always found Ireland to be the land of mystery, intrigue, and adventure.

    When it comes to mystery thrillers, I’m an adrenaline junkie and Die This Hour is an adrenoline-fueled roller-coaster thrill ride from the first page to the last page. Die This Hour is populated with characters that are easy to like or hate as the case may be. O’Hare has created characters so lifelike that they will live on in our memory long after the story ends. The story itself could have been taken from yesterday's newspaper’s headlines. Die This Hour has The Serious Crime Team pursuing a serial killer who’s hiding in plain sight.

    Over many years of reading mysteries and police thrillers, I have found that the best ones are written by men and women who are in, or had been in, law enforcement in one way or another. I have found few writers who have not been affiliated with law enforcement that have been able to about it convincingly and believably no matter how talented they are. Brian O’Hare is one of those few that can.

    Die This Hour is not only a story that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat, burning through the pages, it will keep you guessing as to who the real perp is until the very end. The clues were all there, but I didn’t pick up on them just as detective Allen and Inspector Sheehan didn’t until almost the very end of the book. When the villain comes to light, I think that you will be as surprised and as shocked as I was. O'Hare is a master of his craft.

    If you like tightly written police dramas without any fluff, you’ll love Die This Hour.

    I write this review as a volunteer review.
    Inspector Sheehan’s Serious Crimes Team is at work again, investigating a series of gruesome murders that take place at precisely 11:05 pm.
    The Serious Crimes Room has a new member, Woman Detective Sergeant Denise Stewart, transferred from the Lisborn Police Station. WDS Stewart is considered a rising star as she successfully uncovered a case of police corruption at Lisburn.
    Even though WDS Stewart has some experience investigating cases, she experiences for the first time what it means to be part of a team with a leader like Inspector Sheehan.
    Clues are spread throughout the entire drama. Readers paying attention to the details should be able to follow Inspector Sheehan’s line of thinking, and perhaps reach the same conclusions.
    Although some misogynistic elements are presented throughout the drama, the author’s clear intent is not to rely on that aspect of the police culture and everyday life.
    The “Inspector Sheehan Mysteries” series by Brian O’Hare deserves a 5 out of 5 stars for the drama and character development.
    “Die This Hour” portrays a police procedural mystery investigation. I loved this book because senior investigators do not overlook the instincts and ideas of a rookie detective.
    The plot is engaging, and the author writes each character with virtues and defects. Nobody is perfect or a superhero.
    If you are a fan of the Mystery, Crime, or Police Procedural genres, you will love this book and the “Inspector Sheehan Mysteries” series.

    I am really disappointed. The author is skilled and experienced, the language is fine. Moreover, there are two points in the book where it feels like an unputdownable thriller, but just that. I could not finish this book for some time, as I keep dozing off. And one can guess who done it almost immediately without fining out the reason. This is no thriller.

    I found the first of these books almost by accident and now find myself engrossed in the stories and the lives of the characters. The book is well written and hard to put down as I get caught up in the plot wondering what happens next. This author should be more well known and I can certainly recommend his books.
